Recommended Dungeon Gear

This is a general recommendation for gearing in early dungeons in Legion. With Warforged and Titanforged possibilities, having a set list of items as being "best in slot" is impossible. In almost every situation, an increase in item level is going to be better, even if the stat allocation isn't perfect. Here are some pieces you can try to gear for:

Finding Gear on Wowhead

From simple recommendations to advanced filters, Wowhead can help you find the gear you want.

Item Finder

The Item Finder is a great way to search for gear if you are new to Wowhead's filtering system.

Choose what item category, gear slot, and class specialization you're interested in, and it will return results for you. You can further narrow it down by source--including gear from LFR and heroic dungeons.

Character Planner

The Character Planner returns personalized gear suggestions for you and shows which content has the most upgrades.

Simply load up the planner with you preferred character and it will list gear recommendations in a 20 ilvl range for you. It will also list how many gear upgrades each boss has so you can plan out bonus rolls. Finally, the character planner will perform an audit and let you know if you have any missing enchants, glyphs, or gems.

If you have a character in our Profiler which is great for tracking vanity collections and viewing your character in our 3D modelviewer, you can click on the "Planner" button in the header to access the tool. If you don't, you can just enter your information in at Tools > Character Planner.

Item Filters

Wowhead utilizes a powerful system of item filters to narrow down the gear you need.

On http://www.wowhead.com/items, you can enter in some basic options at the top--the name of the item, its item level, the level the players needs to be. The "Usable by" dropdowns cover factions, class, and role.

The dropdown menu right above "Stat Weights" opens to display a variety of advanced options. These cover the following:

General item info such as Added in Expansion/Patch, BoE/BoP, Unique-Equipped, Class-Specific.

Source: All in-game sources, ranging from raid difficulties to the Black Market Auction House to sold by a vendor.

Miscellaneous: Many of these filters are not relevant to equippable gear such as Crafting Reagents and Toys, but you can filter for items that are currently obtainable.

Once you've selected a filter from the menu, click on Apply filter for search results. You can repeat the process to filter for multiple criteria at once--for example, Agility gear that is found in Mythic Foundry.

Over on the right-hand side of the page, you can select a particular Gear Slot or Quality to narrow results even further.

Finally, you can quickly view a subset of items at once using the Database Menus. Head to Database > Items and mouseover the Weapon and Armor options for quick links to gear arranged by armor type and slot.Back to Top
